Marshall Islands seek regular UN climate summit

Last week, the Marshall Islands released plans for a UN climate summit of world leaders every five years.

The summit would be based on the 2014 New York summit led by Ban Ki-moon, during which US President Barack Obama introduced a new Climate Pact.

RMI President Hilda Heine said: “These summits should then become a regular fixture every five years as part of the Paris ambition mechanism as countries finish work on their targets for the next cycle.”
